I hate to say this, but Hillary has got to go.
It doesn’t come as a surprise that politicians are self serving. It has to be part of your DNA if you’re going to put your livlihood in the hands of fickle voters. And we know from 8 years how the Clinton’s can compartmentalize, obfuscate, and use judicious selected memories to justify a range of misbehaviors. But lately I’ve just had it with these jokers. Juxtapose Bill’s comments during Kerry’s campaign four years ago:
One of Clinton’s laws of politics is, if one candidate is trying to scare you, and the other one is trying to make you think, if one candidate’s appealing to your fears, and the other one’s appealing to your hopes. You better vote for the person who wants you to think and hope. (See the YouTube clip here)
with his endorsement of the despicable 3 AM phone ad.
Watching the Clinton camp dissemble with relation to the delegate situation is sad indeed. Unless the laws of mathematics are repealed, she can’t get more delegates than Obama, Michigan and Florida notwithstanding. While I don’t exactly blame her for wanting to stay in the race, the way she is going about this strikes me as being at the very least disingenuous, and at worst dishonest. With regard to the electoral process, she has changed her tune more often than Roger Clemens changed hypodermic needles. As usual, Jon Stewart and The Daily Show summed it all up perfectly.
